About Kris

Kris Rice is a licensed social worker who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and attachment-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

With 23 years of professional experience, she focuses on practical strategies that address thinking patterns and emotional responses while honoring each person’s values and lived experience. Kris emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and partners with clients to shape goals and interventions that feel relevant and achievable.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family adjustments, anger, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of attention include abandonment and codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, mood disorders and post-traumatic stress, as well as women’s issues and young adult concerns.

Kris adapts conversation and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances, offering support and encouragement for those ready to pursue meaningful change.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes and can be applied in structured online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect emotional patterns and closeness, helping people explore connection, trust, and intimacy concerns in a relational context. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, using empathic listening and collaboration to support self-directed growth and to build confidence and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to determine which combination of methods best matches the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That shared decision-making helps shape session structure, pacing, and what techniques are emphasized as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, balance therapy with work or family commitments, and access care from the client’s chosen location while working with licensed professionals who tailor their approach to each person's situation.
